A college newspaper is again the subject of a libel lawsuit. The Oswegonian, State University of New York-Oswego's "only independent, not for profit, student run newspaper," is being sued for libel after it wrongly identified local city councilor Michael Todd as "a registered sex offender and co-owner of a taxi company" when he "is neither," Syracuse.com reported. The Feb. 15 story in question reports on Todd's proposed law against taxi companies hiring sex offenders but then wrongly reports "Todd is a registered sex offender and manager of D&M taxi company with his brother, Brian Savage."
